Park Assist
This system provides active parking
assistance: it detects a parking space and then
steers in the appropriate direction to park in
this space while the driver controls the driving
direction, engagement of gears, acceleration
and braking.
To assist the driver in monitoring the
correct manoeuvring operation, the system
automatically triggers the display of Visiopark 1
or Visiopark 2 and the activation of the parking
sensors.This system is a manoeuvring aid that
cannot under any circumstances replace
the vigilance of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle. He or she must always check
the surroundings of the vehicle before
undertaking a manoeuvre and ensure that
the space remains clear during the entire
manoeuvre.
The system per forms the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using ultrasonic sensors
built in the front and rear bumpers of the
vehicle. The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
Operation
A.
Parking when entering a "parallel" parking
space.
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space.
C. Parking when entering a "bay" parking
space.
F

W
hen approaching a parking area, reduce
the speed of your vehicle to 19 mph (30
km/h) or less.
Function activation
The function is activated in the
Driving/Vehicle menu of the touch
screen.
Select " Park Assist " Activating the function deactivates Blind
Spot Detection.
At any time, up to starting the entry or exit
parking space manoeuvre, pressing the
arrow located in the top left-hand corner of
the display page deactivates the function.
Select type of manoeuvre
A manoeuvre selection page is displayed on
the touch screen: by default, the "Entry" page if
the vehicle has been running since the ignition
was switched on, other wise, the "Exit" page.F

The selection is accompanied by
this indicator lamp coming on.
Parking space search
F You should drive at a distance of between 0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19 mph
(30
km/h), until the system finds an available
space.
The parking space search stops over this limit.
The function automatically deactivates once
the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50 km/h).
For "parallel" parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For "bay" parking, the width of the space
must be equal to the width of your vehicle
plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated. When the system finds an available space,
"
OK " is displayed on the parking view,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Preparing for the
manoeuvre

you monitor the close surrounding area of your
vehicle during the manoeuvre.
During the manoeuvre
The system takes over the vehicle's steering. It
gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting the entry and exit parallel parking
manoeuvres and for all entry manoeuvres for
bay parking.
There instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these

3 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space
exit.
During a manoeuvre, the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch
out for anything likely to block the
manoeuvre (loose and bulky clothing,
scar ves, ties, etc.) – Risks of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to monitor
the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object

Operating limits
- The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work
in progress with damaged road sur face,
location alongside a ditch, etc.).
-

T
he system may indicate that a space
was found but will not offer it because of
a fixed obstacle on the opposite side of
the manoeuvre which would not allow the
vehicle to follow a trajectory required for
parking.

Maintenance
recommendations Operating faults
When the function is not activated,
this indicator lamp temporarily
flashing and an audible signal
indicate a system fault.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the indicator lamp goes off. If the fault in the parking sensors,
indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, occurs during use, it
causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a fault, have the system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

n bad weather, or during the winter, ensure
that the sensors and cameras are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
Full Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the vehicle to park it in this space,
without intervention from the driver.
Associated with the EAT8 automatic gearbox,
the system manages control of the steering,
direction, acceleration and braking.
To assist the driver in monitoring the
correct manoeuvring operation, the system
automatically triggers the display of Visiopark 1
or Visiopark 2 and the activation of the parking
sensors.
Driving

189
The driver's seat belt must be fastened
and remain in place for the entire
manoeuvre.Full Park Assist is a manoeuvring aid that
cannot under any circumstances replace
the vigilance of the driver.
The manoeuvre remains the responsibility
of the driver.
Full Park Assist is not always able to react
automatically and appropriately due to the
performance limits of the sensors used.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop the
vehicle when necessary to ensure the
safety of their immediate environment
(particularly where there are pedestrians).
The driver must remain in control of
their vehicle. They must always check
the area surrounding the vehicle before
undertaking a manoeuvre.
Throughout the entire manoeuvre, the
driver must ensure the parking space
remains free of obstruction. They must
remain in the driving seat and must never
try to lock the function control button.
The driver can interrupt the manoeuvre
at any time by pressing the brake pedal,
by retaking control of the steering or by
releasing the function control button.
The driver must hold the function control
button, located on the gear selector, down for
the whole duration of the automatic manoeuvre.
The system per forms the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using 12 ultrasonic
sensors built in the front and rear bumpers of
the vehicle.
The Full Park Assist system provides
assistance for the following manoeuvres:
-
p

arking when entering and exiting a
"parallel" parking space.
-

p
arking when entering a "bay" parking
space.
